Why a Septic System Inspector Not a Septic Pumper?

Start with an inspection

Keeping your septic system in tip-top working condition is important to the health of everyone living in the home as leached contaminants can: 

  • be a major cause of illness  
  • pollute groundwater  

While you should maintain a regular pumping schedule, changes in the function of your septic system does not always mean a pumping is in order. A thorough inspection by a certified septic system inspector will give the homeowner a complete picture of the condition of:

  • the sewer system as a whole
  • the lateral lines connected to the treatment tank
  • the health of the drainfield 

Each component should be inspected before proceeding with a septic pump, especially in cases of flooding. Your inspector will provide you with an accurate assessment before you move forward with pumping or any warranted repairs, potentially saving you hundreds, if not thousands of dollars. Because a certified septic system  inspector does not perform any maintenance, or do repair work, there is no conflict of interest when assessing  and making recommendations concerning your septic system.
